Understanding the Healing Power of Accupuncture

September 10th 2008 12:48
Oriental therapeutic devices like acupuncture have long been in practice in the east. With the advent of globalization and heightened disorders amongst populations all over the world, western science is making space for eastern curative measures as they are often proving to be effective enough to be tried regularly. The additional advantage of something like, let’s say, acupuncture is that it does not require intake of chemicals and can treat a wide variety of things ranging from stress to emotional duress.

This process of acupuncture requires particular regions of the body being pierced gently with long needles. The process can be executed in different ways depending on the angle of the insertion and the type of needle used. This way it can yield positive results in the treatment of many an ailment. The idea is to cleanse one’s body and inscribe some positive energy in it.


What do the Chinese have to say with this ingenious procedure? Very simply that given the passive yin and the active yang force in the body, there is a need to balance the both of them. There is also the Qi energy passing through meridians in the body, meridians describing presence of one or more organs. When Qi is disturbed then the balance between yin and yang is disrupted too causing disorders in the body. Thus an avenue to Qi is south via the 400 different acupuncture points in the body that could be pierced to access the flows of energy through the meridians. Thus, they are brought back on track ensuring the restoration of the proper functioning of the body.

What is done in acupuncture is that the energy flow is restored to the meridians respectively. When the needle is placed at a particular point of the body, it is to deflect the energy flow in some way to the illness center so that the stress there is relaxed and functioning is smooth. Of course twenty years before people in the west thought that this was impossibility. But with the widespread success of this curative measure, the westerners have sat up and taken notice and themselves become big fans of this technique. Insurance companies too are ready to cover this treatment and provide it with due recognition.


The clear successes that one could associate with acupuncture are, a better immunity system, improved and boosted, a steep fall in the levels of stress experienced, pain reduction like never before, huge enhancement of strength and energy, qualified complement to other medications and so no side effects. Others also take help of acupuncture to cut down on weight and cellulite. The technique can act as prevention too and thus need not be used only when ill.

An HIV person has a certain problem where the Candida grows out of control in the body’s intestinal flora where in turn thus the balance has to be brought back. Acupuncture can intervene in such a problem and be used to restore the lost balance by reducing overgrowth of yeast. Combined with a Candida diet it has thus been known to be very effective for AIDS victims as well.

The idea here is to gear up the positive energy flow in the body. Though this has no clear counterpart in western scientific vocabularies, it is nonetheless effective and gaining trust of people all around the world. Acupuncture is here to stay.

Whether or not you believe in the ying and yan and positive life forces that may exist within the body, you cannot discount the thousands of people who have been treated successfully with acupuncture and now swear by it for relief of ailments.
